New Arxiv.org paper related to LENR - "Tunneling of slow quantum packets through the high Coulomb barrier"
ABSTRACT: We study the tunneling of slow quantum packets through a high Coulomb barrier. We show that the transmission coefficient can be quite different from the standard expression obtained in the plane wave (WKB) approximation (and larger by many orders of magnitude), even if the momentum dispersion is much smaller than the mean value of the momentum. http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.3837 "Slow" packets here refer to relatively narrow packets whose center moves at a relatively slow velocity. Narrow wave packets can contain high momentum components. I believe that the following 2013 presentation made by Allan Widom - "Electro-Weak and Electro-Strong Views of Nuclear Transmutations" vglobale.it/public/files/2013/Cirps-Widom.pdfý - points out a similar effect. I.E, on slide 12 "Electron Mass Renormalization I" He notes that "Slowly Varying u(x) and Quickly Varying S(x)" can represent an wave packet with much more energy than a simple observation of its envelop "u(x)" would lead one to expect if its phase "S(x)" is rapidly oscillating within the a slow (even almost static) envelop. -- Lou Pagnucco
